I had a power-loss situation and when the system came up I went into the |

grub rescue screen - my root file system was trashed. I fsck-ed that |

happen, every once in a while - even with a journaling filesystem - I guess. |

filesystem was also trashed, hundreds of files in lost+found and many |

gone forever. |

Both filesystems ext4. |
